[Normative values for peripheral electrical gastroenterocolonography].

AIM: To elaborate the normative values of peripheral electrical gastroenterocolonography (EGECG). SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Fifty apparently healthy young people (14 women and 36 men; mean age 20.2 ± 4.7 years) were examined. Peripheral EGECG was used to study the motor-evacuating function of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). RESULTS: The values of the main indicators and coefficients of GIT electrical activity were defined; the concepts of normal physiological values for GIT electrical activity were identified and their values were determined. CONCLUSION: Peripheral EGECG makes it possible to significantly estimate the bioelectrical activity of the gut. The informative markers of peripheral EGECG are relative electrical activity, ratio coefficient, rhythmicity coefficient, as well as the average amplitude and frequency of bioelectrical activity.

[Mebeverina drugs in the treatment of functional disorders of the digestive system].

Despite the identical content of mebeverine hydrochloride, Duspatalin and Niaspam, produced by different technological processes, can't be considered interchangeable as they are known to have different clinical effect in case of various functional diseases of alimentary organs. Duspatalin is effective in relieving biliary disfunction symptoms, Oddy's sphincter hypertonicity in particular, but has little effect on intestinal dyskinesia. Niaspam is known to have little effect on biliary dyskinesia, but has a prominent positive clinical effect on intestinal dyskinesia.
